A FAB Story – How It All Began

Since opening in 2009, FAB Salons Glasgow has grown from a passion project into a trusted destination for advanced beauty and skin treatments. Founded by Laura Porter, the salon was built on her values of humour, integrity and dedication. It’s no surprise that clients describe their experience as being “sprinkled with fairy dust” — warm, professional care delivered with a smile.

For Laura, beauty isn’t just skin deep — it’s about making people feel confident and radiant, inside and out.

Our Mission & Community Commitment

Beyond providing expert treatments like Lipofirm, laser, skincare, and more, FAB Salons is deeply committed to community. Laura volunteers regularly at Kilbryde Hospice and supports local charities—raising funds and donating time to causes close to home.

The salon team shares this ethos, and together they contribute to annual fundraisers that benefit children’s charities, food banks and local shelters. This is beauty with heart, caring for skin—and for people.

Our Team – Growth Powered by Passion

With a larger salon and an expanded development of treatment rooms, FAB Salons now has a dedicated team of highly trained professionals who share Laura’s passion for skin and care.

Each team member is chosen for experience, warmth and a client-first mindset. They’re not just experts—they’re friendly faces who can’t wait to help you feel fabulous, one treatment at a time.

Lovely salon, great service.

Superb customer service and treatment on my tattoo removal, Thanks again Mel,

Very satisfied with tho outcome on my leg veins not afraid to wear shorts now and Laura is a very special lady x

Great salon and lovely knowledge staff.

I had the carbon peel from Mel and it’s like an industrial clean for your skin. My skin feels so clean and clear! I love that when you visit FAB for a treatment, Laura and Mel can always correctly tell you how your skin will in the coming days. Thank you!

The most amazing facial by Laura was so relaxing and my skin feels so good.

Omg first time visiting the salon.

Laura immediately made me feel at ease/felt like I’d known her forever we were having a great chat!

Then when she got down to business on my wonderful lymphatic drainage facial she was quiet, soothing and calm! And her hands are like magic. Absolutely loved my treatment thanks!

Thank you very much I am happy 😊

Great chat & tattoo removal by Mel! Getting there with my tattoo disappearing! I would recommend x

My first time visiting the salon today. My appointment with Sarah was fab. I felt at ease and really enjoyed my treatment. Can’t wait to see the results x

Great treatment Melissa is 1st class

Absolutely love this treatment. Today I had my tummy and thighs done and you can really see the difference. Perfect for slimming and toning especially before an event or holiday. Highly recommend.

I normally go to Laura but Melissa looked after me today and I was really pleased with my service. she has a lovely friendly manner and has the “FAB” touch. definitely recommend, my skin felt and looked great afterwards .

Great service … getting a first sitting of tattoo removal was daunting but Melissa made me feel at ease, explained everything and talked me through it all! It was all about me in control of this process which made the experience very relaxed - thank you!

You’re truly the best. My skin has literally transformed ! Xx

FAB Salons is amazing, I had a wonderful experience for my 6 week block lipofrim treatment with Sarah who made me feel comfortable and at ease through out all appointments. Loved the lipofrim treatment which helped tighted up my wobbly areas highly recommended x

Melissa put me at ease for an uncomfortable appointment she took breaks when I needed and talking to me during my tattoo removal to take my mind off it. Thank you I’m so happy with the results it’s nearly gone!

Wow this really is in my opinion the platinum of all facials. This treatment was so relaxing and therapeutic. All while it is tightening, exfoliating and rejuvenating the skin. As well as the amazing LED light but the mini massage at the end was just the icing on the cake. I highly recommend Sarah, she honestly has such magical hands. My skin is glowing and feels amazing. I have booked my next one already.

Melissa makes what can be an awkward experience as comfortable as possible. The treatment itself is great!

I have struggled with hair growth on my face and neck for years due to my PCOS, but after only 6 sessions of laser hair removal with Melissa I can confidently say the hair growth has dramatically changed and my confidence has skyrocketed, I feel that after being so embarrassed for so long this has genuinely changed my life. Thank you so much Melissa for being so kind & caring, and completely putting me at ease throughout the process!
